ABOUT US

Lack of interest and attention is putting this music under great threat. For the past thirty six years Song of Soul and SOS Productions are extending support to the independent and folk music community through Livelihood, Sustainability and Promotion.

SOS is also working with Asia-based music professionals to strengthen the Asia music network at the global music arena.The organisation is recognised worldwide and invited to international music market, conferences and music festivals on a regular basis.
